Perfect for families

This is a great property in a superb location. Really spacious, feels like a house. You can walk to all the main shops and beach, run downstairs for cafe and great coffees. Lots of extras such as towels, games, dvds. Really good for teenagers as they can spread out inside, or wander to the shops. We had a great time and would recommend! Hosts were really friendly and helpful.

Views, Beach, Central to everything

Our first impression exceeded our expectations. We loved walking into the kitchen/living and taking in the wonderful view. The teenagers loved walking across the road to the beach and up the street to explore shops and cafes. The accommodation is secure - having the second set of keys was vital. The bedrooms have loads of storage and the kitchen was well stocked with everything a cook needs. We appreciated the range holiday reading and board games. The a/c and fans were appreciated, as were the clothes-horse for wet towels and the washing facilities. We bought our own beach towels but noticed this was also provided by our hosts. Communication also exceeded expectations. Lynn was proactive and responsive. Thank you for our lovely holiday in Cowes.

Comforts of home with amazing views

Communication and help from Matt and Lynn was very appreciated because of the help and advice we needed to be confident that our daughter with a physical disability and her carer could have the best and most convenient and comfortable long weekend away, for the first time from her family and home. Matt and Lynn took care of every little detail, regular communication and thought of everything we needed beforehand. Lynn even met us at the door to open up the security gate to the parking area on the day. We thoroughly recommend a stay at this apartment as it was very clean and tidy, has all the comforts of home and the location and view is just what you want when you want to be near and hear the seaside at your door and from your window. Our daughter wanted to live there and not come home, she said the bed was so soft and comfortable and loved watching Netflix in bed whilst looking out to the sea.

Stunning location and beach views

Thanks for an enjoyable stay at Cowes. The location was extremely convenient, within a few steps to shops and across the road from the beach. We hardly needed to take our car out of the car park to dine or shop around. A beautiful apartment with everything we needed and a welcome pack was gifted to us upon our arrival. We loved the balcony spacious and many seats for all of us (X8). Loved it and would definitely come back and recommend it to family and friends. Thanks a million.

Modern, clean and fully decked out apartment with great views and location

The property was amazing not only the location being close to the shops and restaurants but having to sit on the balcony each morning and night and enjoy the views of the beach and sun set while having our meals or even a drink. Our holiday was very relaxing and stress free.

Have stayed in quite a few of these units over the years, I found Matt and Lynn's to be the most luxurious and welcoming. Lovely welcome gift on arrival and check in and out was so easy. So nice to have a good comfortable lounge and plenty of them to sit on. Matt and Lynn where great to deal with. Thanks for sharing your lovely retreat with us.See you next year.
